Explaining the Mass

A five-week homily series from September 2025

In September 2025 I spent five weeks of Sunday homilies walking through the Mass: where it comes from, what we are doing, and why. These are the texts of those homilies, lightly cleaned up.

  1. The Mass Is Both Sacred Meal and Sacrifice
  2. Sacred Music and Processions
  3. The Kyrie, the Gloria, and the Liturgy of the Word
  4. The Eucharistic Prayer
  5. The Our Father, Communion, and the Dismissal
